What were the big improvement/fixes from 3.2 to 4.4? Do they outweigh the CBV? issue?

I'll be honest, what is the CBV issue?

Thanks.

Well as the title says and hence my confusion, what version to startup and why?

Hi all, been MIA for a few years. Just getting back into things and was thinking of starting either a Hotseat(quasi pbem) game vs a net game and saw a whole ton of discussions around this version stuff.

So since i've ...

After mid Feb I could be up for a game. Just in the process of moving and heavy work schedule. I also host a discord server and folks are welcome to use that as well.

<r> I've encountered a couple of interesting scenarios.<br/>
<br/>
First I was attacking a Japanese CV and I destroyed it, got the NM bonus, it then reappeared a couple of hexes over. I hit it with several units, got the NM serveral times. I think about 4 or 5 times.<br/>
<br/>
Another instance ...

<t> Well then the AI must be a god. I just gave up on a game where Germany is pretty much dead in Mar 44, I've crushed the Chinese but can't seem to conquer them and now with the USSR after me and massive forces showing up from the rest of the allies, it's pretty much a waste of time to play any ...

Sure get that certain things to trigger the events. But that being said, who would DoW when you have nothing on the border or even close so that as a result of the DoW you are losing cities, NM, MPP right away?

<t> Yup I can get it to trigger on the AI turn. Italy DoW's Vichy. If you want the save file just let me know. As a side point and a much longer conversation the German AI was doing some really goofy stuff the previous couple of turns as well. Like leaving the entire southern front empty while being ...

It was an Italian DoW. If it had just been Vichy rejoining etc wouldn't have been surprised. It was more Italy declares war part that caught me off guard. I'l see if i reload the previous turns it does it again.

<t> So I understand that the AI can't account for everything etc. but even this boggles the mind.<br/>
<br/>
So here's the picture in Europe. Nov 43, Germans are in full retreat from Russia, mostly speed bumps for the Ruskies at this point. France has just bee liberated, and there are in excess of ...

<r> I have to admit, I'd like to know what the axis player did to kick butt so well. Granted I've only been playing AI games but so far the allies have always nuked the nuts out of the axis by mid to late 43. My current game I'm holding the US at bay in the Pacific, and am on the verge of killing ...

Seems a bit harsh, I think it should be a reduction in resources coming out until it's back to 5. Something simple like 20% per point.. to go from 0 to 77 seems a bit lopsided.

Thanks for the info.

<r> Interesting, loaded up the game and now there is a blue convoy line. Coming out of Oosthaven. Even tho Soerabaja was over 5 for quite some time..just loaded up a saved game from two months earlier and Soerabaja was 5 then and it the convoy line was white and wasn't coming from that port. The ...

<t> The source is only 4, I think if that's the case I'd say that's a bit of a design flaw. There are other ports, along the rail lines on the island that are 5, it should use those as alternatives. To go 6 months without being able to get any oil out of the NEI seems a bit harsh.<br/>
<br/>
Any ...

<t> Hi I was reading through the manual, and I think I might have found why the convoy isn't working but thought i'd ask anyways.<br/>
<br/>
I've taken over the NEI for nearly 6 months and i'm not getting any resources off the island, the convoy is white. I think I read something about the port ...

<r> I know off topic, but couldn't resist. One game, I was playing Japan, my friend US, our search rolls were so bad, after 6 months of almost no naval combat we both secretly agreed to dump our fleets in the same sea zone so we could have at least one good naval fight... and of course we both ...

<r> And of course the Bolshevik Zhukov wintering near the Caspian.<br/>
